CIRCUMSPECT DELUSION
CIRCUMSPECT DELUSION
By james a. galgano
THERE IS THIS ROUND ABOUT WAY OUT OF ONE’S HEART YOU MAKE A WRONG TURN AND IT WILL TEAR YOU APART AND LEAVE DESTRUCTION ALONG YOUR PATH TO TOMORROW FOR THAT MOMENT OF WONDER COMES A WORLD FULL OF SORROW WAS IT WORTH THE PRICE FOR ALL THAT YOU BEGGED AND BORROWED AND LIED YOUR WAY THROUGH
TO RECREATE THIS BLUNDER IN THE MAKING CALLED YOU
LIKE THERE IS A CHANCE TO MAKE ALL DREAMS COME TRUE
WHO ARE LYING TO NOW AND WHAT WILL YOU DO BUT DIE
TO MAKE IT ALL RIGHT IT MIGHT BE BETTER THAT WAY
BUT HOW CAN IT BE YOUR LIFE IS MORE THAN MISTAKES
AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE THERE IS SOMETHING MORE THAN ALL OF THIS THAT IS NOT OF YOUR MAKING SO WHY LIE ANYMORE
WHOSE HEART BUT YOUR OWN WILL YOU BE BREAKING
DON’T BE CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT OF WHAT WILL NEVER BE
THERE IS MUCH MORE THAN THIS FAUX DESTINY SO IMPOLITE
AS IF YOU WERE A BOUQUET OF NAILS SEARCHING FOR A CROSS
TO HANG YOUR SELF-INFLICTED SORROW TONIGHT FOR WHAT IT COST
WAS IT WORTH THE PRICE FOR THE INTEGRITY LOST BY DAWNS EARLY LIGHT WHO ARE YOU KIDDING BUT ONLY YOUR SELF LIKE A FOOL ON A HILL SO CIRCUMSPECT WITHIN YOUR DELUSION BEGGING YOUR PARDON
FOR EACH INDISCRETION OR INTRUSION UPON OTHERS FAUX DREAMS
LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS WHAT IT IS CRACKED UP TO BE IN BETWEEN
SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE YOU IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS
TRULY OF YOUR MAKING BUT WHY ARE YOU TO BLAME
FOR WHAT OTHERS ARE TAKING TO BE THE GODS HONEST TRUTH
AFTER ALL THEY ARE ONLY WORDS YOU HAVE ONLY WRITTEN
TO BE OF SOME USE TO RELIEVE YOUR GUILT SEARCHING FOR A DOOR
TO PASS THROUGH TO BE WHERE YOU NEVER WERE BEFORE
ALL THIS CAME DOWN LIKE A MEESAGE ON BROEN WINGS
OF A BIRD THAT COULD NEVER FLY OR FOR THAT MATTER SING
AS IF YOU HAD AN OPTION AS IF YOU HAD A CLUE
WERE YOU THAT SO FOOLISH WERE YOU SO UNTRUE
OR WILL YOU LIKE ALL OTHERS SEARCHING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY
TO DO WHAT YOU COULD DO TO MAKE IT TO TOMORROW
WHERE EVER THE PATH WOULD LEAD BEYOND HOPE OR PRAYER
SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER SO OFTEN NEVER THERE TO DISMISS
OR DISSUADE THAT FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT OR BEING BETRAYED
THIS IS THE ROAD OF LIFE PAVED IN BLUNDER OF YOUR OWN MAKING
EACH STEP THAT YOU TOOK TOWARD A GOAL SO OFTEN MISTAKING
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HAD YOU BEEN HONEST AND TRUE
BUT YOUR ONLY HUMAN FILLED WITH THE IMPERFECTIONS AND MISCUES
HOPING FOR SOME OUTSIDE HAND TO GUIDE YOUR WAY YET NEVER
REALIZING UNTIL THE END YOU WERE ONLY BEING LEAD ASTRAY
SO HERE IS WHERE IT ENDS AS QUICKLY AS IT BEGAN ONCE UPON A TIME
FROM BABY CRY COMING INTO LIGHT TO AGED MIND WELCOMING NIGHT
LOOKING BACK IN ANGER OR MAYBE GUFFAW WAS THIS YOUR PLAN
OR IN CIRCUMSPECT WHAT YOU SAW YOUR LIFE WOULD LEAD
HOW COULD YOU BE SO MISTAKEN OR SO ILL CONCEIVED
THAT YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HOODWINKED BY WHAT YOU BELIEVED ONCE UPON A TIME WHEN YOUR DREAMS INTERSECTED
WITH WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BUT NEVER WAS BY DESIGN.

International Criminal Court prosecutors warned on Friday against "individuals who threaten to retaliate" against the tribunal or its staff, saying such actions might constitute an "offence against its administration of justice".
[...]
"That independence and impartiality are undermined, however, when individuals threaten to retaliate against the court or against court personnel" if it "made decisions" about probes that fell in its mandate, it said.
"Such threats, even not acted upon, may constitute an offence" against the ICC's "administration of justice", it said.
"The Office insists that all attempts to impede, intimidate or improperly influence its officials cease immediately."

Saturday afternoon I ran into Gibernau in the paddock.
"I heard that tomorrow HRC are having a press conference," he said.
"That's right, just after the race," I replied.
"You'll say you're staying at Honda, won't you?" he asked.
"No, actually. I'll announce I'm moving to Yamaha," I answered.
I saw a flash in his eyes. First astonishment, then happiness. I could tell he had done some quick thinking and figured that it would only be good for him. He reckoned that I wouldn't do much on a Yamaha. I could read it on his face, just as I later could read it in the faces of so many other people who doubted me and my choice.

Within the endless mist within of by young or old Where is forever lost discouraging word un-heard? Upon the precarious wings of some foolish flightless bird Caught forever within the flutter of feathers escaping remorse. Where all destinations lead to where and when without a course Often chartered without navigation coordinates chartered by decree. Here this old fool such I am fell in love with you wanting me. Beyond all hopes upon every star wished though often I never see I remain a foolish glimpse needing your love surrendering to me still true. Where I long, love desire only you mine until day I die in your arms This is now forever my destination sought please never do me harm.

@fishyio replied to your post “so, what's up with korvin's parents? they're just...”:
COMPLETELY relate with the whole asian culture+background thing. had to stop a few times when reading this post bc i felt so Understood. i think that's what makes your SIs so compelling and engaging for me– because i can relate deeply to them and their behaviours etc. that and that your writing is fantastic :) other than that it's really interesting to see the thought you put into your SIs. thanks for the post!
writing for all the "underrepresented" nd diaspora asians in fandom lol ✌✌
in seriousness: thank you for your compliments, i'm happy that what i write feels resonant to readers. "relatability" isn't the end all be all, as many writing quips and advice will state, but a lot of those statements are made in this vacuum of an assumed default. and that assumed default is usually (in western fandom) an acultural whiteness influenced by christian norms.
thus, to people not of that default and grew up needing to blend in with it (east asians being model minorities and having an "easier time," sort of), "relatability" is an oasis, a grounding point, reorientation. it's something others will take for granted until they don't have it; it's something i couldn't find so i made my own, and i'm happy it lead you to my writing.

Speaking of Will dating an older guy that Jonathan has a complicated history with: I am thinking of a Steve/Will fic I once ran across. That’s a pairing that, IMO, is messy but not inherently wrong if Will is at least 19, and only potentially awkward because of Steve’s history with Jonathan once Will is 22 or 23. But Will was 16 and Steve was 21 in the fic, which falls into “not statutory rape in Indiana but that 21yo is almost certainly bad news.” And, what was more, Steve in this story was INCREDIBLY self-righteous about it. There was a scene where Jonathan raised some very mild objections and Steve was like HOW DARE YOU CRITICIZE ME. AT LEAST I DON’T SMOKE WEED ALL THE TIME. Which. Amazing. No notes. If I was writing the villain of a poor-taste stoner comedy circa 2002, that’s exactly what I’d have him do.

Chess teaches a great deal of useful skills. Foresight, circumspection, caution… Never show impatience. Always think several moves ahead. Most importantly, never hurry your opponent.
